The Democratic Underground Thread Of The Day: George Bush Is Dishing Out Strokes!

Sadly, “(r)etired Gen. John Shalikashvili, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and now an adviser to Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry, has been hospitalized in Washington state after a severe stroke, Pentagon officials said Monday.”

Now most people, whatever their political persuasion might be, would be sorry to hear that Mr. Shalikashvili had a stroke and would wish him a speedy recovery.

Like I said…that’s MOST people.

But, to some of the kookier denizens of the Democratic Underground, every bad thing that happens, anywhere in the world is the fault of….

A) Satan
B) Terrorists
C) Hitler
D) George W. Bush

If you guessed D, you got it right! And of course, they blame Bush for giving Shalishkavili a stroke.
